  • Wild camping over Meldon reservoir, and some meandering across Dartmoor. including a closer look at Meldon Viaduct.
    This video starts at High Willhays where we spent the night before in some terrible weather after a days hike in the same said bad weather.
    I was out with ‪@Linleys‬ by the way.
    So after leaving High Willhays we visited Yes tor, West Mill tor. then over to Black Down and after picking up some water in the valley we took ourselves up Longstone Hill to a viewpoint above Meldon reservoir where we pitched up for the night.
    Before making our way out the park we stopped for a closer look at Meldon Viaduct.

    Stony pair of knockers might be the best line I’ve heard on your channel. Sick trip overall

    2nd part just as good as the 1st Dan👍 Thanks for the trip in that brutal but visually stunning area. You guys certainly "weathered" the trip in fine fashion. Looked like a trip to remember but maybe not repeat for some time.. Excellent job as always, great time. See ya next time.

      Thanks Terry, I'd go there often but it's a long drive and requires a bit of planning. but it's a fantastic place that I try to visit at least once a year.

    👏🏻Applause for the great effort you put into filming and editing. Top notch on all your videos 👍🏻
    Your easy going demeanor and Warren’s enthusiasm always make for an entertaining watch !
    Hopefully you’ll offer some more merch in the near future. I need one of those black CLB hoodies
    with the red drawstring.
    Looking forward to the next video !

      Thank you so much. I woke up the this comment, and it was nice to read.
      I will do another run of merch, probably nearer the end of the year as it gets colder.

    G'day Dan, Warren, fantastic trip once again you blokes !!!!!!
    Some interesting macro camera work there Dan, ..... I am glad you showed the culprit to go with it ; )
    Crocodile Rock ............ what a ripper !!!! Is that close to ... Alley-Gay Tor.
    Nice bit of history thrown in. Incidentally, a lotta old country lines have been repurposed as, what are known as "rail trails" here, for hiking and mountain biking, which is all very well, though it doesn't help if you ever want/need to re-open 'em to trains ........... down the track . Cheers Duke.

    Been stewing for ages about getting the ice flame. Only thing stopping me is the rate I go through camping mats. Great for hammocks tho

    • @CampLifeBushcraft
      @CampLifeBushcraft  Před 2 měsíci

      I really rate the ice flame. had it a couple of years now, and while it's not really a winter thing. for the summer it's great, and weighs nothing. makes a difference in the pack.
